Iran today (Sunday) dismissed allegations in Israel of its involvement in an attack on the tanker off the coast of Oman on Friday, in which two people were killed. An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that "the Zionist regime is creating terror and violence, and Tehran condemns these allegations."
Shortly after Tehran's statement, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett dismissed Iran's denials and warned of an Israeli response.
The attack on the Mercer Street tanker, operated by the Zodiac Maritime company owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer, turned on red lights in Israel. It was the first time casualties have been recorded since the start of the secret naval campaign with Iran, which has been widely reported in the foreign media since the beginning of the year.

"In recent days, the world has received another reminder of Iranian aggression, this time in the middle of the sea," Bennett said at the beginning of the cabinet meeting, confirming reports that the ship had been attacked by UAVs.

Prime Minister added that" I have now heard that Iran, cowardly, is trying to evade its responsibility for the incident, they deny it. So I state here absolutely: Iran is the one that carried out the attack against the ship. Iran's bullying is dangerous not only for Israel, but also harms global interests, freedom of shipping and international trade. The intelligence evidence for this exists and we expect the international system to make it clear to the Iranian regime that they have made a serious mistake.
"" We, in any case, know how to convey the message to Iran in our own ways, "Bennett warned.
